Dwindling Democracy

President Muhammadu Buhari once said,
"The World Is Watching."

Is the world not seeing your blatant flagrant disregard and violation of the sanctity of judicial processes and systems?

Has the world suddenly become blind to how with impunity your boys invade Court proceedings and commit crimes beyond what hitherto now, judges called contempt of court?

When a father sends his son to steal, the child breaks down the door because he has the backing of his father. A clear case of what played out yesterday.

Has anyone heard from the presidency? What has Buhari or his spokespersons said to distance the presidency from the crime of abduction within the premises of a court of competent jurisdiction?

I know some trolls will come here to vent vitrolic vilifications in support of the government as a result of their hate for Sowore (probably because of his antecedents) but is this about Sowore?

He defaulted a bail condition by addressing the press. Yes. But you have also committed a far worse crime by invading not just a court but interfering with a constituted judicial process. You've relegated the Judiciary beneath  dust by this singular act!

Do you know the adverse effects of this on the economy?
Who will invest a million Dollar in an economy whose leadership has no respect for the Rule of Law? Buhari do the math!

Your 9th Assembly is facilitating Hate speech and fake news bills into laws when your Government is gaining unpopular publicity in  breeding HATRED.

What is more hateful than when the executive incessantly breaks the law, when the executive refuses to obey court orders, When campaign promises are not kept, When the executive will rather provide security for Politicians than to the voting populace, When Salaries are owed workers by state governors who are forced on the people by the powers that be, I can go on but to what end?

For those who think this is about Sowore, think again. Very soon we shall all become victims when they pull through with their bills of suppression.

We are fast degenerating into a frightening dictatorship under President Muhammadu Buhari's Regime and soon we shall have no mind nor say of our own in a country where our founding fathers laboured to liberate us from the chains of slavery.

Oh! How the labour of our heros' past have gone in vain in a democracy where the Rule of Might now reigns supreme over the Rule of law!

There are four Senior Advocates of Nigeria working at the helm of Buhari's government. VP Osibanjo, Fashola, Keyamo and the Attorney General of the federation. Are they not supposed to offer the President advice on the legal implications of some of his actions or  are they simply gaining from all these show of shame?

The world is watching but more importantly Nigerians will soon wake into unison against your impunity!
